A man accused of kicking in the door to a home Friday night and then being shot by the homeowner remained in critical condition at Spartanburg Regional Medical Center on Saturday.

According to an incident report from the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office, Dakota Shad Hester drove to a home on Highway 14 in Landrum at about 6:20 p.m. Friday. Hester's wife was inside the residence with the homeowner, according to the report.

Hester, 35, of 116 Edgewood Ave. in Landrum, is accused of kicking in the locked back door to the home. His wife met him inside the door and tried to "calm him down," according to the report. She told deputies her husband grabbed her around the throat and pushed her against a wall.

Hester then went upstairs, where the homeowner had locked himself in his bedroom. When Hester kicked in the bedroom door, the homeowner shot him multiple times, authorities said. The homeowner then used his fire department issued radio to call 911 and went to the road to wave down first responders, according to the report.

Hester was airlifted to Spartanburg Regional, where he had surgery Friday night.

If Hester survives and his condition improves enough to be released from the hospital, Master Deputy Kevin Bobo said he will be charged with criminal domestic violence and burglary.

The 7th Circuit Solicitor was consulted on this case, and the homeowner does not face any charges because he acted within his rights of self defense, Bobo said.
